Nevertheless I make sure to make a formal treaty that includes a clause with a clearly defined way and time-frame how to cancel the alliance. Otherwise, if somebody changes his or her mind, there is no other way to leave the alliance but by backstabbing.

Pray tell me what's so wrong with "Hey, mate, I think this partnership needs to end. What say in 3 turns we set each other to Neutral and see what happens?" Evil or Very Mad

Unless you tell me it's the very fact that you could counter-offer, or backstab him, or.... Confused

In an "only 1 winner" game, there really shouldn't be any NAPs or formal alliances with no exit clause, and the only recourse if you've signed up for one is to approach your ally and point out that the treaty conflicts with the game rules and will have to be renegotiated. This would be similar to negotiating a business contract that violates national laws.

If more than one winner is allowed, you have to ask why you want to terminate a treaty that doesn't allow for it. Or, more to the point, why you entered into such an agreement in the first place Smile
